Scheierman can at least replicate some of the shooting, passing and ballhandling Boston has been getting from PG. He's also a solid defender.

Keith Smith reports that forward Paul George rests tonight, with Baylor Scheierman taking his place in the starting lineup.

George sits out for a scheduled rest night. Hugo Gonzalez remains in the starting lineup, and Jordan Walsh continues to come off the bench.

The face the Houston Rockets tonight. Scheierman steps into the starting role to provide shooting, passing, and ballhandling in George's absence.
